Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

This was my first Workaway experience and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Christina, Florian and kids (my new family 😉), I cannot thank you enough for the amazing time you provided me and the memories we made together! I stayed 2 weeks with this beautiful family and I honestly wish I could've stayed longer! They made me feel so welcomed as soon as I walked through the door and it didn't take long at all for me to feel as if I was truly apart of their family. My "work" (which didn't feel like work at all) included mainly spending time with the children doing various activities both outdoor and indoor while also helping with general household tasks such as loading/unloading the dishwasher, hanging out laundry, gardening and general cleaning. The children taught me some new skills of juggling, riding a unicycle and solving a Rubik's cube. I was able to join the children during their circus and acrobatics lessons as well as join the whole family when they went out with their friends. I was also able to explore other parts of Switzerland during my own time when I wanted too. I truly had the most memorable time here, they are memories I will forever cherish! I cannot wait to come back and I will be sure to make my stay longer for next time 😉💗

Brenda and Wilhelm were really delightful company, and we only wish they could have stayed for longer! They achieved a lot in a short time, and approached everything they did – from clearing round our old bread oven/barbecue to clearing brambles from the millpond wall while balancing precariously in our little boat, via cooking the most delicious fajitas for us – with tremendous care and thoroughness. We had fascinating and entertaining conversations about our different cultures (and their English is so good!), and they were exceptionally thoughtful and appreciative in their response to the mill and its environment. They were unfailingly willing and positive, extremely generous and kind, and we particularly loved the way they were constantly spotting little things that they could do to help. We wish them huge success in their studies and all their projects and we hope one day to catch up with them again.

Staying with and at Alexandre for a long period, 3 weeks, was one of my best Workaway experience. He has first a lovely house, nice bedroom with a comfy mattress. All you need for cooking. Then working in this garden was very interesting. I digged a trench to carry water to his water tank, watered the plants, did a lot of gardening... Besides of those experiences, Alexandre is a very welcoming, charming, full of energy guy. I enjoyed spending time with him, even during the week end when he proposed me to join him for some adventures. He speaks quite good portuguese which could be helpful if you don't. His neighbor Henrique is a very welcoming nice man inviting you a lot for a refresco or for food. So Alexandre was a very good excellent experience. I hope one day we could meet again around the world

Thank you so much to Maureen and Alex for hosting us!! Our stay was fantastic and we left wishing for more time. Jake and I loved learning about sustainable gardening practices, irrigation methods, and helping with many projects on the homestead. Rhythm 'n' Roots has a wonderful vision and mission, and it was inspiring to work the land with them and see it change before our eyes. We left with new skills and new friends (including a SCOBY!), and have stayed in touch since. We are happy to have met them on our travels, and are grateful to have been part of the process.

I had a great time at the villa. The other volunteers really welcomed me into the group and I quickly settled in, before I knew it the place felt like home. Shifts are clear and easy to follow and you’ll know your schedule for the coming week which makes it easy to plan day trips as well. Interaction with the guests is super easy because of the communal areas that everybody can use. Would volunteer here again 🤗 Thanks Ryan and my fellow volos for making it a great memory.

Staying with Kim and Colin was an incredible Workaway experience! 🌟 I stayed at the Beach House, which is literally right by the ocean 🌊—such a beautiful spot. During my time there, I helped paint the house 🎨, dig a trench 🛠️, and do a variety of other tasks. Every now and then, I also went up to the bush to see the waterfall 🌿💧 and give a hand to another volunteer with some things at the Air B&B. That place up in Fairytale is amazing too! 🏞️ Kim and Colin have been absolutely wonderful people—kind, open, and full of good energy 💛. I’ll never forget them and I truly hope to see them again someday, whether here in Jamaica 🇯🇲 or somewhere else in the world 🌍

We feel so lucky to have found this place!🥰 From the very beginning, we were welcomed with open arms and made to feel at home. The atmosphere was always warm, respectful, and full of positive energy. We had the opportunity to stay here for one week and felt sad when we had to leave. We worked on a variety of tasks – gardening, renovation, and general maintenance around the house.🏕️ Communication with Steve was always clear, thoughtful, and flexible, with real care for what suited us. The family is incredibly kind, lovely , and interesting – we truly enjoyed the time with them.🙏 Anyone who comes to volunteer here is in for a real gift. We’d absolutely love to come back again! Highly, highly recommended!

We enjoyed getting to know Holly, her family and the other workawayers. Holly was clear in her expectations and instructions. We all had lively and interesting conversations around the kitchen table. Our accommodations were comfortable and food was plenty.

Thank you Gonzolo for having me! Being at your place was a real pleasure, among the diversity in insects, animals, and beautiful landscapes. Your cooking was incredible, and the work was pretty difficult, but on the whole pretty rewarding. Though it gets hot in the summer, cooling off in the pool sure helped, and Gonzalo was always interesting to talk to. Hope to see you again, Vlad.

Trixi and her friend Joschi stayed with us for three weeks and it was a really great time. Both were working really good in the garden and made it so nice, and it was also very nice to have them both hanging around. Trixi is such a nice person and made great cinnamon buns to all of us. Both Trixi and Joschu are intresting, curios and fun to spend time with. I can highly recommend them!

John was with us for about three weeks to help us work with our horses. Thanks to his deep experience with horses and riding, he got along excellently with our horses right from the start and was a tremendous help to us. He was simply tireless: up early in the morning to make the most of the cool hours, undeterred by the warm weather, and by the time I came out after work, everything in the stable was already prepared. In addition to his incredible help with the horses and in the stable, it was also very pleasant to have John with us: he adapts easily, is a rather reserved person, and we had many good conversations. We can wholeheartedly recommend John—whether it's riding or anything related to horses, you can confidently entrust him with your horses, knowing they are in the very best hands ever!

Daniel stayed with us for about a week and we are really happy to get to know him. He did a very good job in the garden and he acted on his own initiative, which I appreciated. We had interesting conversations and Daniel is a very kind person.

Joschi and Trixi were staying with us for three weeks and I it was such a great time. They were being so nice and such a hard workers. We really enjoyed them being around and they made it so nice in our garden. I highly recommend them!

Estos chicos son un encanto! Aga es una mujer muy responsable, detallista y perfeccionista, y Papi es servicial, cariñoso y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Estuvieron con nosotros durante dos semanas y apoyaron en todo tipo de tareas, ¡incluyendo una divertida sesión como modelo y fotógrafo! Les deseamos a ambos un hermoso camino y les agradecemos de corazón por su ayuda, su buena actitud y su disposición en cada tarea que emprendieron. Sin duda los recomendamos para otros proyectos. ¡Un saludo grande de toda la familia!

I spent a wonderful week at Ellisiv's house in Sletten. It was my first workaway experience and I couldn't ask for anything better! She is super kind and made me feel at home, we spent an amazing day going hiking in the mountain, had beautiful conversation and we also saw Bergen by night, can't describe this, the best night ever :D As workawayer my work was taking pictures and it has been a great opportunity to share the passion of photography and design. Ellisiv is a very sweet and super fun person, I am so grateful for this experience! Thank you very very much <3

Our time with Wade and Misa just flew by; from the very start we felt so welcomed and valued and truly a part of the family. They went out of their way to make it a fantastic experience for us, both with the work and the experiences outside too, including us in local events and going out for food and drinks together. They are both such kind, open - hearted people who have made the most incredible family and it felt really special to be a part of it. You have raised 3 amazing, confident, funny and independent kids who were such a joy to be around. We have made so many amazing memories in our short time together and you made our time with you really special, our only regret was that it wasn't longer but we have no doubt we will be back to visit! We look forward to sharing many more highballs with you in the future!

Florence is an absolute star and looked after me very well during her stay here. I knew I could always rely on Florence, no matter what - she really went above and beyond. Florence not only helped me pack a lot of items for moving, but she also cooked for me, and brought me coffee every morning when I couldn't walk. She also ran a lot of errands in her car, this saved me a great deal of hassle at a time when my life would have been a lot more difficult if she had not been here. There will always be a welcome in my home for Florence, no matter where or when. One in a million!

Marielle and Helena were an absolute joy to host and I really enjoyed spending time with them. During their stay, they took care of various tasks around the house, and I appreciated their help enormously. They are both welcome to come and visit me any time and I hope these wonderful girls have a splendid experience with Workaway.
